You know, I just finished my re-reading of Gravity's Rainbow, and I probably "got" a good 60-70 percent of it, a number which I fully expect to increase on future readings. But this MF strip? It has me at a complete loss. It's racist to use the word "teflon" in relation to Obama? I just recently did so in an email to my dad, and I'm an Obama supporter. Am I therefore nonetheless a racist? Is it racist to call Reagan teflon? Seriously, what the FUCK, people? Is it just that it's five in the morning, or is this stupid cartoon even less coherent than usual? Let's hope it ends up fragmenting and dissipating in the manner of Slothrop himself. See how I brought that GR reference back? Damn I'm good!

If Tinsley wants to keep associating Obama with Reagan, that's fine with me.

Reagan was the worst president we ever had right up until George W Bush, but he won two elections AND got most of his programs through congress due to his attitude of optimism ... or dare we say "Hope"?.

I've always been awed by Mallard's sheer WTFery, but THIS is downright stupefying.

Yes, Tinny, the fact that "no criticisms" seem to be able to stick to Obama (which I'm not entirely convinced of ANYWAY) is CLEARLY a sign that the media is pandering to him and could not POSSIBLY mean that the criticisms themselves are, y'know, invalid or anything.

Tinsley wishes he could publish his real Obama cartoons, where the senator boils two missionaries with a bone through his nose. Actually, I wish he could too. It would be more entertaining than his dreck.

Actually kind of cute, but unless his opinions on environmental issues are surprising, he's kind of a self hating duck. I'm sure I've seen him making fun of groups concerned about cruelty to animals, and I imagine he hates government protection of wetlands too.
